Cycling the Bay Area & Stories from the Garden

The move is done… back to the avo’s

The week has proven to have been one of the most hectic weeks ever! I forget how absolutely time destroying moving is, especially when you move with nothing, and have to re-purchase everything you need.

I moved last Sunday, January 8, 2011, the only possessions I had at the time were 5-boxes of miscellaneous clothes, cookware, etc., and one television. It was daunting; however, Craigslist to the rescue, now, myself, and my lovely little Avocado plants are settling in nicely.

This is the larger of the Avo's sunny perch

The little seed that could, if making remarkable growth progress. I guess he really likes the new spot. He is still suspended over the jar of water, but has grown to 9″ above the seed. I am going to be planting him tomorrow into a nice pot of his own. He will join the larger on the table, and enjoy the cool feel of soil, and the warmth of the Oakland winter sun.

The top is just busting at the seam to start setting leaves

His root system is just about filling the jar

– Definitely, time to plant him in soil!

I am so happy to settled into my new, and I can see myself being here for a long, long time. It is really close to work, in a lovely neighborhood, and as the plants grow, and strengthen, there is a nice sized patio which I can transfer them to.

I look forward to 2011 watching my Avo’s grow, as I grow, it’s a great new start on life for both of us.
